The husband, who remained anonymous, lives in the southern megacity Guangzhou and cooks for his wife, surnamed Xu, as a way to show affection and keep the romance alive.
Xu’s husband asks her every day what she would like to eat for dinner before she gets off work, and occasionally he surprises her with new dishes he recently learned.
“It has been more than a year since we met each other, and I do think I am very lucky to have married him,” Xu told the mainland video news platform Houlang.
“He has a passion for cooking, and he tries to cook a superb meal for me every day,” Xu said.
The viral video showed delectable dishes such as egg noodles, sausages, stir-fried pork slices with sweet peppers, steamed sweet potatoes, green vegetable soup, and fried chicken.
